This book is an account of Maria Montessori’s philosophical and pedagogical methodology. She believed that education begins at birth and the first 6 years of life are most important for the physical, cognitive and affective development of the child. In this book, she discusses activities which help children in developing their sensory and motor skills so that they can explore and unfold their abilities in an adaptable environment. Montessori’s methods of education stand apart from others because they are based on her scientific observations of children and thus stand true for children in any context
